  Pretty sure this was flawed. Not cork taint though. Acetone, nail polish remover smell. Unfortunate

  Clear, deep garnet with significant rim browning. White pepper, coffee grinds, eucalyptus. Medium acids, medium tannins. Black plum. Medium balanced finish

  Bad QPR at $110 and a decade of storage. Not a bad bottle or anything - but pretty typical cab at probably double the price of what I’d expect blind.

  Opened 30 minutes before drinking. Some bricking. Opaque red. Nose of earth and cedar. Initial tastes were mediocre. After about 30 more minutes in the glass, the wine started to open up and show more complex wood, forest floor, leather and cassis. Not terrible, not great.

  Explosive aromas of black cherry, blackberry, cedar and olives. Deep garnet color and full bodied effort. Well developed and integrated at 11 but this is a young wine. 15 pct alcohol can be felt but doesn't hinder the wine as it is well balanced. Well recommended.
